Day 1b of The Run Good Poker Tour $1,100 Main Event at Seminole Coconut Creek Casino saw 30 players advance to Day 2 out of the 161 entries of Day 1a. The guarantee of $200,000 has been met and now stands at $332,000.
At the top of the chip counts is Kevin Blewitt with 451,000. Blewitt started the day very strong and never seemed to lose any momentum. He stands as not only the chip leader of this flight, but the whole tournament.
PokerGO commentator Jeff Platt bagged second in chips with 431,500. Platt began to build up steam when he knocked out Jake Schwartz with aces and built steadily on top of that. Platt also stands as the only other player in the tournament to cross 400,000 chips.
| | Name | Chip Count |
| 1 | Kevin Blewitt | 451,500 |
| 2 | Jeff Platt | 431,500 |
| 3 | Steven McKoy | 331,000 |
| 4 | Brett Bader | 227,500 |
| 5 | Rafael Lima | 194,000 |
| 6 | Timothy Miles | 191,000 |
| 7 | Michael Rosen | 184,000 |
| 8 | Julio Delgado Reyes | 183,500 |
| 9 | Myung Choi | 178,500 |
| 10 | James Tomblin | 171,500 |
Also bagging were poker commentator Jamie Kerstetter(139,000), bracelet winner Matt Waxman(53,000)as well as Eric Siegel(127,500), Papa Karn(132,000) and Steven McKoy(331,000). Last year's runner up Timothy "T.K." Miles found a bag worth 191,000 guaranteeing himself a Day 2 spot. The structure is best stack forward so any player who bagged today will have the option to forfeit their stack today if they find a bigger one the next day.
Some of those who were less fortunate during the day included Jake Schwartz, Michael Newman, Solange Lucas, and Ariel Mantel. Last year’s champion Raminder Singh was eliminated on the last hand of the night when his pair and flush draw combo did not improve.
Be sure to join us throughout the weekend as PokerNews will be on the floor with all of the updates through its conclusion this Sunday.
